The two favorites were Sweden’s Frank Andersson, the 1979 and 1982 World Champion, and Romanian Ilie Matei, who also competed in freestyle in Los Angeles, rare for this era. In round four of Group A Andersson met American Steve Fraser and was upset, 4-1. Prior to this class no American had won a medal in Greco-Roman wrestling but Fraser advanced to the final against Matei in which he won the gold medal on criteria, after they tied 1-1. Matei led most of the match 1-0, but Fraser caught him in a front headlock with only a few seconds remaining to take the title. Andersson did win the bronze medal, defeating West German Uwe Sachs on points, 5-0.
